Real Question about Biden

What is the real difference between Biden and Clinton? Obama's supporters were voting for him early this year because he was the anti-Hillary. No votes for the war and pulling out immediately. He was new and she was establishment. So she comes in a very close second to Obama, and he picks Biden who had about 12 votes.
The whole reason we heard he couldn't pick Hillary was she wasn't anti-war enough. They didn't want anyone who had voted for the war. Now he picks one of the most pro-war democrats.
So the real question has to be: if you can run with Biden, why can't you run with Hillary? History is loaded with candidates who ran with the runner-up as a VP candidate. But "why-not-Hillary?" was a topic from a couple months ago. So no one touches it now. Back then everyone knew the answer, but with the Biden pick, that answer is out the door, and Obama isn't being asked to provide a new answer.
Saturday the question should have been resurrected.
